Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of Lytera 2.0 versus 4% hydroquinone in the improvement of the appearance of moderate facial melasma.
Tri-split face study of skin resurfacing modalities for the treatment of melasma, comparing the medium depth trichloroacetic acid peel, CO2 laser and Qs-NdYag laser.
The aim of this pilot study is to conduct a controlled comparison of the efficacy and safety of a combination peel (glycolic acid and salicylic acid) as compared to glycolic acid peel alone in the treatment of melasma. Our primary outcome is objective improvement in pigmentation as evaluated using a colorimeter. Our secondary outcomes are subjective improvement using the Melasma Area and Severity Index (MASI) and Patient and Physician Global assessment, as well as assessment of treatment tolerability and patient satisfaction.
The purpose of this research study is to gather information on the effectiveness and tolerability of a novel composition of existing U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved topical medications for the treatment of moderate to severe melasma.
The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate safety and efficacy of the Cutera enlighten dual-pulse duration, dual-wavelength 532nm KTP/1064nm Nd:YAG laser for the treatment of melasma and lentigines on the face in Asian skin.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of an herbal de-pigmenting regimen applied to one side of the face compared with hydroquinone applied to the other side of the face in treating mottled hyperpigmentation and melasma.
The purpose of this study is to compare a hydroquinone skin care regimen alone to a combination of Revlite Laser treatment with a hydroquinone skin care regimen for the treatment of melasma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combination of non-hydroquinone topical therapy and a 755nm Alexandrite compared to topical therapy alone for the treatment of facial melasma.
Main objective is to show that a photoprotective sunscreen having a protection against the visible light is more effective than a sunscreen having the same UVA AND UVB protection but with a low (weak) protection against the visible, to prevent the relapses of the melasma during the summertime.
Melasma is an acquired hyperpigmentary disorder that commonly affects women from Asia and Latin-America.There is evidence of subclinical inflammation supported by diffuse spectrometry and by prominent inflammatory cells in affected areas; however this infiltrate and its inflammatory mediators remains unexplored. Chronic inflammation induces melanogenesis and angiogenesis; thus, it could be linked to its recurrent nature.Therefore, the aim of this study is to describe the inflammatory cellular infiltrate, and the expression of main inflammatory and angiogenic mediators in this condition, as well as to explore its relationship with severity of disease. Using histological, histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, and quantitative real-time PCR, we evaluated melasma lesions from 20 healthy female patients with malar melasma without specific solar exposure or photoprotection measures within the previous 3 weeks and compared them to non lesional skin.
